Den Chief Training

The Den Chief is the Key for having the best possible Scouting experience for Cub Scouts transitioning into Boy Scouts. The Den Chief works alongside the Cub or Webelos Den Leader. He is a role model for the Cub Scouts, an assistant to the Den Leader and a friend to the boys once they become Boy Scouts. By taking the training and meeting the requirements as outlined in the Den Chief Handbook, he is eligible for the Den Chief Service Award.

 A Den Chief is a Boy Scout, Venturer or Sea Scout assisting a Cub Scout den. But the story is far more important than those words suggest as the Den Chief: 

• Serves as a Scouting role model for the Cub Scouts in the den, as well as the entire pack; 
• Promotes Scouting in general and the local troop in particular; 
• Encourages the transition of Webelos Scouts into Boy Scouting; 
• Holds a leadership position in the troop or crew, thus fulfilling an advancement requirement in the unit. 

This will be an enhanced training with additions of the EDGE method and how to lead portions of den meetings/campouts.
